Dgas Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 No-one else in DL for this?In DL for this one. Once you over the hill it's resonantly flat until the Cradle.
StevieL Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 In DL for this one. Once you over the hill it's resonantly flat until the Cradle. There is that looong drag up to Maropeng. The gradient isn't too bad, but it carries on a bit.
WR 1.0 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Loads of punctures this weekend. I punctured at the top of Krugersdorp, and saw numerous riders stuck next to the road fixing flats.
RastaMan Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Hard race first time in Elites for Berge & dale, got dropped half way upThen eventually I started catching peeps and before I knew it we caught 6 other guys and we had a nice pace line going. but the va breakaway group us on the caves road, kinda played ying yang with them just before the final circle and they left for good THink our group got tired, we were pushing hard all they way.Finished with a 2:45, 10 minute improvement from last year.Not at elite level yet but atleast I am improvingI was racing in the northcliff kit. Hard race thoughnew Max power of 340 TSS of 325IS of 1.09 No wonder I was dead after that

Stuck with them through the easy flats until the cradle then had a bumpy ride through the cradle with one other VA rider. Tough racing vets, unfortunately I'm not there yet...and the ride on Saturday was a rude awakening to that fact Finished in the last couple of riders in the VA group.

We could have been below 2:40.Yup ever since the VA's passed we started slacking, but we did work well together.so when I saw the fence I knew I had a little juice left and that 1 km sprint finish was the longest on my life !! ;D
